South Carolina
You know you're from the South when...
1. Y'all is the most used word in your vocabulary.
2. You love grits and boiled peanuts.
3. Anyone north of North Carolina is a Yankee.
4. There's a church on every corner.
5. You're about 10 years behind the rest of the country, and you have absolutely no idea.
6. College football is the most important thing in the world to most of the people you know.
7. If you're a Democrat, you tell no one for the fear of being lynched.
8. The only acceptable type of barbecue is mustard-based.
9. Most people spend their weekends mud ridin', fishin', huntin', or campin'.
10. It's considered impolite to not say "yes sir" or "yes ma'am" to anyone older than you.
11. You'll get into an argument with anyone that says the rebel flag is a symbol of racism.
12. "Bless your heart" is your default thinly veiled insult.
13. Iced tea isn't a thing. It's either sweet tea or unsweet tea - and if you're drinking it unsweetened, you must be a Yank.
14. The rule for all overweight redneck women that don't work is wearing as little as possible while standing out on your lawn barefoot, baby on the hip, yelling at your kids for the whole neighborhood to see....and you don't give a *kitten*.
15. You have way more children than you can afford to have. Condom? What the hell is that?
16. You go to Walmart to walk around when you're bored.
17. You ain't a man unless you drive a truck. And you ain't a good southern woman unless you can drive one through a mud hole without getting stuck.
18. Fried chicken. Enough said.

You Know Your From Buffalo When.....
I'm from Buffalo. We eat chicken wings, not Buffalo wings. Jack Kemp is a quarterback, not a politician. We drink Labatt Blue and love it. Mighty Taco always has preference over Taco Bell. Pop, not soda and Pepsi, not Coke.
They are sneakers not tennis shoes. It's a sucker, not a lollipop. Bison chip dip, La Nova Pizzeria, Aunt Rosie's Loganberry, Chevettas Chicken, Peter K's Potato Pancakes and Ted's Hot Dogs are all too familiar...not to forget Taffy's Shakes and Charlie the butcher.
A fake ID is unnecessary, there is always Canada...But we have them anyway. Our bars don't close until 4am and we DO sell beer in a grocery store (Tops or Wegmans), which always makes for early starts and late nights. Jim's steak out at 4 in the morning is calling it an early night...
We never cuss, but we swear entirely too much. We know that a 65 mph speed limit really means 80. We will cut you off, swear, and give you the finger if you are keeping up AND do it all in the snow, while expecting nothing less in return. Driving in the snow not only comes naturally, it is fun.
We know what Artvoice and Nightlife are and we either love them or try to burn every copy we see. We start the weekends off right at Thursdays in the square while enjoying beer, free music, and an interesting crowd.
We lived through Wide Right, The Forward Lateral, and No Goal. Dubbed by Dan Marino as "the meanest fans because no-one actually wants to live here..."
We all know he wouldn't stand one winter up here. We love the Bills (no matter what) and accept that it takes 2-4 hours to get home from a game. Nothing closes in 3 feet of snow or -20 windchills...In fact, that's how we prefer to tailgate.
We can correctly pronounce, spell, and identify Chippewa, Scajaquada, Lackawanna, Cheektowaga, Cattaraugus, Chautauqua, Olean, Tonawanda and Gowanda without hesitation. When giving direction it's not "take I-90 to Route 33 east" it's " take the 90 to the 33 east"..."the" is not an option.
We are 30 minutes from another country, one of the seven wonders of the world, and even a few beaches. It's the second largest city in New York.

^ Ha ha, you forgot to mention Chicos Tacos. (Gabriel Iglesias loves Chicos Tacos)
I am from Mexico, but I lived in El Paso for seven years, now I live in Houston, and you know that you are from Texas because most people say "You all" and recommends a great Mexican Restaurant called "Los Cucos" ( Tex-Mex food)0 -

6) You say "Da" instead of "the"
7) The lake= lake michigan0 -
roll tide to that, girl!small town Alabama...
...when you get pulled over for speeding on the way to work in the morning and by the end of the day your dad texts you to ask how much the ticket was.
...you get out of a speeding ticket because your grandfather was the one who trained the cop who pulled you over.
OMG, THIS!!!! And Roll Tide or War Eagle are perfectly acceptable salutations for any occasion. Sometimes you won't get that ticket if you choose correctly. OR if the mandatory sticker/tag on your car is the cop's allegiance.0
